   Hello Alan.

   I have 2 examples of the outbound message bundle contents.  The bundle was   
   addressed to 1:229/426 for forwarding.  Here's the contents of the bundle   
   containing 2 separate netmails for 2 separate Z2 addresses as seen by InspectA:

   As you can see, although the message bundle is addressed to 1:229/426, the two   
   packets contained therein are addressed to their respective Z2 addresses.    
   Both these pkts will be delivered w/o problem by the forwarding node   
   (229/426). It's always worked like this in the past, even before 1:261/38 was   
   my feed - - years ago.   
      
   Please, when you have the opportunity, explain why BBBS's tosser/packer has   
   issues with this.
